"People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to tree nuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products," the company said in a notice to customers.

The pasta was distributed to stores nationwide. All affected products have been removed from stores.

Trader Joe's said it initiated the recall after customers reported allergic reactions. It was then determined the customers were allergic to tree nuts, which is not meant to be an ingredient, the company said.
